SHORT JUSTIFICATION

Type-approval of motor vehicles and engines with respect to their emissions and battery durability (Euro 7)

EURO 7 standard will apply to all motor vehicles setting limits to non-exhaust emissions, including particle emissions from brakes and tires in order to reduce air pollution from new motor vehicles sold in the EU to meet the European Green Deal's zero-pollution ambition. While the proposal will significantly contribute to the improvement of air quality and the environmental objectives of the Union, its implementation will also imply a wave of investments for all categories of vehicle manufacturers (LDV and HDV) as well as for the entire industry of components and separate technical units (tires and breaks), which will be likely pass on the consumers.

Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety

In its Impact assessment the European Commission estimates an increase in the price of a passenger car by a maximum of 150 Euro, while the automotive industry estimates a 2,000 Euro price increase. There exists a significant discrepancy between the estimations in the case of HDVs as well. Given the increase in price, it is expected that more than 250 million vehicles (LDV and HDV) currently in use in the EU will be used also after Euro 7 will enter in force. For these vehicles, there is no other alternative to reduce CO2 emissions than to use alternative fuels. The legislative framework has to stimulate industry to invest in Research and Development for the least polluting alternative fuels and to incentify the economy of scale production of those fuels to ensure the necessary quantity for the cars in use and its affordability.

However, it should be underlined that the CO2 reduction and the other emission reduction (the ones set by Euro 7 standard) cannot be treated separately. They are connected, as the ultimate policy goal is to reach the objective set in Fit for 55, the 55% CO2 emissions reduction target in 2030. The European legislation must adapt to this situation, otherwise, Europe will produce technologically and competitively outdated products.

European Parliament legislative resolution of 13 March 2024 on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on type-approval of motor vehicles and engines and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles, with respect to their emissions and battery durability (Euro 7) and repealing Regulations (EC) No 715/2007 and (EC) No 595/2009 (COM(2022)0586 – C9-0375/2022 – 2022/0365(COD))

Baring all these in mind, the objective of the TRAN opinion Rapporteur is to safeguard balance and proportionality between the environmental benefits and socio-economic costs of the proposal to ensure on one hand high standards of air quality for our citizens but also on the other hand the opportunity for the European industry to apply these rules in a reasonable time frame with minimal possible investments and negative consequences on their competitiveness and preventing significant price increases that would limit mobility, the possibility of an average consumer to get a car, as well as increase transport prices and fuel already unprecedentedly high inflation in the Union.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(2) The technical requirements for the type-approval of motor vehicles, engines and replacement parts with regard to emissions (‘emission type-approval’) should remain harmonised to ensure the proper functioning of the internal market, as well as a high level of environmental and health protection common in all Member States.

(2) The technical requirements for the type-approval of motor vehicles, engines and replacement parts with regard to emissions (‘emission type-approval’) should remain harmonised to ensure the proper functioning of the internal market, as well as a ambitious level of environmental and health protection common in all Member States and contribute to better air quality. Euro 7 as part of EU Action Plan: Towards Zero Pollution for Air, Water and Soil emission should also contribute to the social and green transition to achieve climate-neutrality by 2050 the latest (Green Deal);

Amendment 5

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 4

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(4) The technical requirements for the type-approval of motor vehicles, engines and replacement parts with regard to emissions (‘emission type-approval’) are currently set out in two Regulations that apply to emission type-approval for light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles respectively, i.e. Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council (‘Euro 6’)44 and Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (‘Euro VI’)45 . The reason for having two Regulations was that the emissions of heavy-duty vehicles were checked based on engine testing, while for light-duty vehicles the basis was whole vehicle testing. Since then, methodologies have been developed that allow testing of both light- and heavy-duty vehicles on the road. It is therefore no longer necessary to base type-approval on engine testing.

(4) The technical requirements for the type-approval of motor vehicles, engines and replacement parts with regard to emissions (‘emission type-approval’) are currently set out in two Regulations that apply to emission type-approval for light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles respectively, i.e. Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council (‘Euro 6’)44 and Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (‘Euro VI’)45 .

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(6) Furthermore, the current emission limits were adopted in 2007 for light-duty vehicles and for heavy-duty vehicles in 2009. Both emission limits were adopted on the basis of the then available technology. Since then, technology has advanced and the level of emissions achieved with a combination of current technologies is much lower than that achieved more than 15 years ago. That technological progress should be reflected in emission limits based on state-of-the-art existing technology and knowledge of pollution controls and for all relevant pollutants.

(7) It is also necessary to reduce complexity, administrative and implementation costs for manufacturers and authorities and to ensure effective and efficient implementation of the Euro emission standards. Simplification is achieved by eliminating different application dates for the limits and tests which existed under Euro 6 and Euro VI, by eliminating multiple and complex emission tests where such tests are not needed, by referring to standards under existing UN Regulations where applicable, and by ensuring a streamlined and consistent set of procedures and tests for the various phases of the emission type-approval.

Recital 12

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(12) Non-exhaust emissions consist of particles emitted by tyres and brakes of vehicles. Emissions from tyres is estimated to be the largest source of microplastics to the environment. As shown in the Impact Assessment, it is expected that by 2050, non-exhaust emissions will constitute up to 90% of all particles emitted by road transport, because exhaust particles will diminish due to vehicle electrification. Those non-exhaust emissions should therefore be measured and limited. The Commission should prepare a report on tyre abrasion by the end of 2024 to review the measurement methods and state-of-the-art in order to propose tyre abrasion limits.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(13 a) In order to allow manufacturers to comply with the emission limits in the context of test procedures, the compliance criteria should be introduced by Commission in two steps. During the first step, upon the request of the manufacturer, a temporary conformity factor should apply, while as a second step only the final conformity factor should be used. The final conformity factor should set during a transition period and include a margin expressing the additional measurement uncertainty. The Commission should continuously assess that conformity factor in light of technical progress and annually adjust it downwards on the basis of scientific evidence, the improved accuracy of the measuring procedure and technical progress. The conformity factor should be gradually lowered and cease to apply by 2035.

(14) Vehicles with traction batteries, including plugin hybrids and battery electric vehicles, contribute to the decarbonisation of the road transport sector. In order to gain and increase consumer trust in such vehicles, they should be performant and durable. It is therefore important to require that traction batteries retain a good part of their initial capacity after many years of use. That is of particular importance to buyers of second hand electric vehicles to ensure that the vehicle will continue to perform as expected. Monitors of the battery state-of-health should therefore be required for all vehicles that use traction batteries. In addition minimum performance requirements for battery durability of passenger cars should be introduced, taking into account the UN Global Technical Regulation 2247 .

Recital 15

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(15) Tampering of vehicles to remove or deactivate parts of the pollution control systems is a well-known problem. Such practice leads to uncontrolled emissions and should be prevented. Tampering of the odometer, leads to false mileage and hampers the proper in-service control of a vehicle. It is therefore of the utmost importance to guarantee the highest possible security protection of those systems, complete with security certificates and appropriate anti-tampering protection to ensure that neither pollution control systems nor the vehicle odometer can be tampered with.

(15) Tampering of vehicles to remove or deactivate parts of the pollution control systems is a well-known problem. Such practice leads to uncontrolled emissions and should be prevented through action to prevent the advertising, sale and installation of tampering devices. Tampering of the odometer, leads to false mileage and hampers the proper in-service control of a vehicle, so Member States should follow the example of other Member States and introduce vehicle mileage recording when a vehicle is serviced or at periodic technical inspection. It is therefore important that new vehicles are designed with appropriate security protection of those systems. It is also necessary to provide for an effective system of sanctions for car manufacturers that produce and/or use control, diagnostic and monitoring systems that alter the results in order to comply with this legislation.

Amendment 20

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 16

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(16) Sensors installed on vehicles are already used today to detect anomalies on emissions and trigger related repairs through the on-board diagnostic (OBD) system. The OBD system currently in use, however, does not detect accurately or timely the malfunctions and neither does it sufficiently and timely force repairs. As a result, it is possible that vehicles emit much more than they are allowed to do. The sensors used up to now for OBD can also be used to monitor and control the emission behaviour of the vehicles on a continuous basis via an on-board monitoring (OBM) system. The OBM will also warn the user to perform repairs of the engine or the pollution control systems when these are needed. It is therefore appropriate to require that such a system is installed and to regulate its technical requirements.

(16) Sensors installed on vehicles are already used today to detect anomalies on emissions and trigger related repairs through the on-board diagnostic (OBD) system and the dashboard malfunction indicator (MI). It is however possible that vehicles emit more than they are allowed to do depending on how long drivers or operators take to follow the indication of the OBD MI. Some sensors used up to now for OBD can also be used to monitor and control the emission behaviour of the vehicles and may help improve the functionality of the OBD. The inducement of measures implied by those systems must not lead to endangering of road safety or limiting mobility.

Recital 17

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(17) Manufacturers may opt to produce vehicles which comply with lower emission limits or with better battery durability than what is required in this Regulation, or which include advanced options including geofencing and adaptive controls. Consumers and national authorities should be able to identify such vehicles through appropriate documentation. An environmental vehicle passport (EVP) should therefore be made available.

Recital 18

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(18) In case the Commission makes a proposal for registering after 2035 new light-duty vehicles running exclusively on CO2 neutral fuels outside the scope of the CO2 fleet standards, and in conformity with Union law and the Union’s climate neutrality objective, this Regulation will need to be amended to include the possibility to type approve such vehicles.

(18) This Regulation should provide for the type approval of new light and heavy duty vehicles that operate solely on CO2 neutral fuels.
